Decadent start to the day, today.. Strawberries & vappy milk on my Cornflakes

Before Covid (for about ten years) I did not have the flu jab because I felt so rough for a few days afterwards. Now with Covid, it is not worth the risk of getting Covid and/or flu. The hospitals are struggling to cope as it is.

I feel very yucky, tired, achey with a foggy brain. Admittedly nothing like what I would be feeling if I had Covid. Has anyone else on this thread had similar reactions. I know there are many threads on a similar topic, but I do not want to wade through them.

Sample of two with Mrs tenkaykev, both had the flu jab a week ago, we’d both had Covid the previous week to that. No after effects from the flu jab apart from a sore arm for a couple of days.

Morning.
It is sort of bright here this morning . There seem to be a lot of high thin cloud about .
We went to the Crafty Café at the museum yesterday . My wife had come up with an idea of doing a Christmas tree at Lacock Abbey with decorations based on recycled objects . I think the brief was to be based on oceans and marine life and the effects of plastic pollution . The museum has hijacked the project and want us to do prehistoric life . . My wife had already formed some ideas and has no got to rethink things . This morning I made a prototype Pteranodon out of a cardboard packet . I will make some out of aluminium drinks cans .

What's the GPS like on them? Useful for when I don't want to have paper maps with me. The Samsung was pretty decent in that respect - and got me out of a pickle of a time or two...

I have a Motorola G50 so it won't be exactly the same (though still at the cheap end of Moto phones) but I've never had a GPS problem with it when using mapping apps*. The Google Pay/NFC thing is very convenient. In fact, in the wrong hands, it could be too convenient....

*I have had the occasional ''low accuracy'' warning when using Google maps but there's a wave the phone about in a figure of 8 procedure to reset it. When I've done that it's only changed location by a handful of metres.

I think you win the internet this week - excellent!

The solar people have come back a day earlier. So some disruption to plans but also much

Been taking a gander at mobile phones this evening. Have decided to not go for a refurbished one, as most of what's in my (original) budget is around five years old, which will leave me in the same place as my Samsung S2 sooner rather than later.Thinking the Motorola g31 is looking like an attractive proposition. It's a teensy bit over budget, but I can swing to that if it gives me more longevity. Does Google Pay which is useful too. And John Lewis do a 2 year guarantee and free delivery / click & collect.

I think the easier something is to purchase & take delivery of immediately, the more likely someone is to buy the item

I wish more car dealers understood this

The fish are OK, thanks, and are still in ½ a tank of water in the garden where said aquarium is drp dripping away..

Only small, 57l. We're not replacing it so I'll re-home the fish at Billing Aquarium shop this morning.

I read that as Billing Aerodrome.

Today's excitement.
Attempted shopping in the local coop.
Got some apples and carrots at double the price of Aldi/Lidl. Rejected very wilted leeks and a minute swede turnip. They are ok for prepacked convenience food but fresh is a lottery. Eggs quite a bit dearer as well but nothing recent to compare with.
Hopefully going to Oban in a couple of weeks to get stocked up on staple things like lentils etc.

Bloods done again to check corpuscles. It was so long since the original request I had forgotten why I had to go to get something checked. Everything was on hold due to covid but the computer told us what was wanted.

I spoke to my Brother yesterday evening. He felt very ill for about a week after the flu jab. I guess we are all different.

Not quite, but there is a Sywell Aerodrome just up the road

Top of the list, "Kettle on, cup ready?"
